Just something you can do to earn a little money while people with more money earn more money betting on or against you.
It focuses on actual combat, things that could damage or kill you, doesnt limit earth benders unfairly to just throwing disks and is dangerous enough to be illegal and therefore tempting to the bad ass renegade super gay superstar can't tell me what to do I'm better than you avatar slut >but dey nee teams or dey can't be da weasel wombats on a team n stuff
Fuck you and your shitty team
Yeah, something that makes sense in a tense but up and coming city with a promise that all your dreams come true with very few dreams actually coming true.
Something that's possible instead of what they decided to write into the show.
A method of training and blowing off steam at the same time.
Her one of her first fights could have been chungus who really liked how she battled and still have taken her out to ramen and then trained with her while the progressed.
Zuko could be in the next class up, fighting stronger opponents, and when slutty girl finally meets him she can suck his dick in the locker room just like the first time. They can do the 'I'm so sorry' episodes and then focus slightly less on matches and more on the group of 'friends' needing to infiltrate kataras dads robot shop just like in the show
Very little has to change. And less than I want changed in the show.
That's why I said I heard it on here. It's a weird failure of writing that you only really notice if you step back and look at it cynically. Korra is rife with how the writers abused and retconned a lot of Airbender canon.
Eh I wouldn't say so, especially with how Korra kinda wound up having her entwined with world leaders, corporate powerhouses, and secret societies
The Avatar will still be pivotal, but increasingly as the fulcrum of an Illuminati style cabal where you can only hope you have more Asamis and Tenzins throwing their weight around than Suyins and pre-turnaround Varricks
>the story about a globe spanning war in which one group of benders had apparently completely genocided another and was making huge strides in wiping out another needed an arc where they all got together in a multi-cultutal city state and put aside their differences to have fun and play a game
great idea dude
>The Avatar is a single person with hundreds of lifetimes of experience and wisdom
Do you have any notion how invaluable this is?
Do I have to be the boring fuck and point out that being the reincarnation of legendary historic figures that basically built the existing nations is just straight up better and more powerful than bending a few extra elements? It's the real reason why the Avatar would have any power and authority invested in them at all. The historic value alone is unimaginable, but imagine being able to go "let's ask what George Washington thinks" and he shows up and just straight up shits on the politician annoying you. Their career would be over.
Of course Korra lost them+does war crimes Clone Wars Anakin style so yeah she's worthless and can't be trusted as an arbitrator.
in the real world, recreational sport became big due to the industrial revolution giving people enough money and free time.
An agrarian society engaged in war probably would be swamped with work.
>recreational sport became big due to the industrial revolution
What do you mean by "recreational sport"? Because I'm pretty sure the olympics came around 2000 years before the Industrial Revolution and people watched that for entertainment. Not just for a religious outlet or military training regimens.
But if you're talking about armature organizations that nominally exist 'for fun' but also as a stepping stone to the professional league you're probably right.
The Olympics were held every four years though, not a regular thing. Furthermore, I doubt anyone would be willing to participate in bending Avatar Olympics with the Fire Nation literally fighting everyone else. Finally, there are very few competitions where multiple different benders could compete together on mostly even ground, so it would just be better to have monobending competitions.
Why?
Why would a sportball arc be more suited to the war story than the early parts of a tense but mostly peaceful city?

Then you don't want pro-bending.
You want unga boonga shonen battle tournaments.

I’m not saying I don’t like the idea of Korra joining a seedy fight club but it doesn’t really serve the story in the same fashion

That's literally how Toph is introduced
Yeah.
What happens when an established sport that us restricted to earth benders gets moved to the big city and everybody wants to play?
>restricted to earth benders
That's a heel brudda.
I'm pretty sure half of the WWE cast aren't married, pregnant, cheating on each other with the other cast, and using real force.
Wrestling is fake.
Earth Rumble was real though
Only trannies consume a show of men in their underwear constantly going at each other
Rent free
>t should have been underground anything goes bending fights similar to boxing before it became huge
Wasn't that how Toph was introduced?
Nah man Toph was introduced at a beauty parlor
It was.
It’s dumb as fuck, no.
If she's unneeded why make an entire show show about it?
Profit. Because it certainly wasn't to respect explore and expand the lore in ATLA

First I've ever heard about this
Then you didn't watch one of the two avatar series.
Eh I wouldn't say so, especially with how Korra kinda wound up having her entwined with world leaders, corporate powerhouses, and secret societies

But benders exist. How long would it take to plant or harvest a field full of potatoes with an earthbender around?

It was just not in the same way given the war separated most of the elemental groups.
